    Hot take Wednesday. When a recipe says to scoop out the seeds in tomatoes or cucumbers for a salad or whatever. No. I paid for those seeds. They are going in. I don’t care if it makes it soggy. Plus that’s extra work that I’m not prepared to commit to.

      Save more time and just throw out the whole cucumber. Genuinely the worst vegetable ever.

          I nominate the turnip. There’s a reason why it gets pickled. Because it’s weird.

            Turnip isn’t the most exciting vegetable but it’s certainly not the worst

              Fully agree. I quite like it grated with a squeeze of lime/lemon on it and some black pepper. It has a unique sulfur laden burn but is also cool and refreshing. Peeling the turnip reduces the burn.

        No way. Cucumber soup on a hot day is the best. Cucumber, yogurt, mint, bit of water and salt & pepper. For those days when it’s too hot to chew.

          Try this:

          Yogurt

          Salt

          Squeeze of Lime

          Black pepper

          diced tomatoes (optional)

          Grated cucumber (into thin strips)

          Give it a nice whirl and it makes an excellent side on a warm day!

        :(

        Cucumbers, capsicums, carrots, and lettuce are the only vegetables I actually like

        Cucumbers are just expensive crunchy water, does absolutely nothing for me. Delete this vegetable

        Correction: celery is the worst vegetable ever. I will die on this hill.

            If I ate peanut butter I would maybe, just maybe, feel differently. But I don’t.

          When I was a kid you used to be able to get a tray of soup/stew mixed veg from Safeway. I used to eat the celery, someone else the carrot. I can’t remember what else was in there but all that would be left would be the turnip and the parsnip. No one wanted them.

              I don’t want to fight you. You can have all the tasteless, colourless, pointless parsnips in the world. I will not be missing them.
